mica-marketing-self-audit
A pragmatic, operator-grade pre-flight checklist for European crypto marketers shipping acquisition copy, paid ads, landing pages, influencer briefs, and stablecoin creative under MiCA.
When to activate
Activate this skill whenever the user:
- Asks you to review a crypto marketing asset for MiCA compliance.
- Pastes draft ad copy, a landing page, an influencer brief, an email, a push notification, an earn/staking promo, or a stablecoin creative targeted at EU users.
- Asks "is this MiCA-safe?", "would this pass MiCA?", or similar.
- Is planning a European crypto campaign and wants a pre-ship gate.
How to use
Walk the asset through all 40 rules in references/mica-marketing-self-audit.md. For each rule, return one of:
- PASS — the asset clearly complies with this rule.
- FAIL — the asset clearly violates this rule, with a specific quote from the asset and a concrete rewrite.
- N/A — the rule does not apply to this asset type (e.g. video-specific rules on a static image ad).
Output format
Return a structured audit in this exact shape:
ASSET SUMMARY
Type: [static ad / landing page / influencer brief / email / push / video / earn promo / stablecoin creative]
Target market: [country or EU-wide]
Asset type-specific risks: [one line]

TOP 3 FAILURES TO FIX BEFORE SHIPPING
1. Rule [X]: [the problem, the specific quote, the concrete rewrite]
2. ...
3. ...
ESCALATION
[Escalate to legal: yes / no. If yes: which rules, and why.]
Escalation rule
- 0–3 fails: safe to ship after the three fixes.
- 4+ fails: escalate to legal before shipping. Do not attempt to fix this asset in one iteration; rewrite from scratch.
Important constraints
- This is a marketing operator's self-audit, not legal advice.
- When in doubt on a specific rule, flag it and ask the user to cross-check with their in-house counsel, the relevant national competent authority (AMF, BaFin, CSSF, CNMV, etc.), and the latest ESMA guidance.
- Do not soften or rewrite the rules themselves based on user preference. If the user asks to skip a rule, decline and explain why the rule exists.
The 40 rules and the full reasoning are in the reference file: references/mica-marketing-self-audit.md.
